Paris, France · 8 January 2019 · In Memoriam of Gerrit Greveling
It is with great sorrow and deep defeat, we inform our members that on December 11th, 2019 the President of the Gastronomical Guild Board and inspired colleague, Gerrit Greveling passed away at age 60.
The original link can be found below.
Gerrit was a dedicated chef and made many journeys that inspired his cooking style. His long track record in the hospitality industry did not go unnoticed. In 1986 he was the youngest SVH Master Chef of that time and in 1998 he was awarded a Michelin star. With great dedication, Gerrit has worked for the Gastronomical Guild Board. He played a particularly active role in the repositioning of the association. Gerrit was very involved in the decision-making of various developments, constantly thinking from the point of view of the guild’s members, partners and relations.
He will be remembered as someone who was incredibly passionate about his culinary projects and always took the time to think along about certain issues within the association. His engaging personality and positive enthusiasm will be missed.
Our thoughts and compassion go out to his wife Corry, children and close relatives. We wish them a lot of strength in this difficult time.
The original article can be found on the Gastronomical Guild news page.

Paris, France · 7 January 2020 · Feed the Planet 2019 Achievements
Greetings Chefs!
Over the course of 2019, the Feed the Planet Committee and its partner organizations, Electrolux and AIESEC, have been hard at work addressing issues of global sustainability. I am very proud of the work that we have collectively achieved. There are so many stories of Worldchefs members who have stepped up and consciously made a decision to get involved and make a difference. These efforts are so encouraging!
So by the numbers, this represents some of the achievements of 2019:
- We taught over 30,249 children about sustainable eating through the Food Heroes Challenge.
- We now have 7 Like A Chef teaching centers open in 6 countries where we teach free 2-month culinary modules to help the world’s disenfranchised find employment in the foodservice sector.
- Over 800 culinary students completed Worldchefs Sustainability Education for Culinary Professionals curriculum.
- As members of Worldchefs, you can share in celebrating these results. It is only through the sum of our individual activities that we can make a difference. And remember, every effort, no matter how small or big, to make our world and our profession more sustainable is a step in the right direction.
As 2020 begins to unfold before us, please reach out to the Feed the Planet committee if you want to get more involved. We welcome all efforts!!
Thank you,
Chef Christopher Koetke
Chairman, Worldchefs Feed the Planet Committee
